23rd comment

The 23rd comment on here was posted on 5/9/09. 23!!! It was posted at 12:31. There's a 23 in there. Guess ill have to ignore the 1s. But I do have a thing for 11 so maybe that's 23 hidden in an 11? Freaky? No. Just selective perception. Seeing so many others here being afflicted like me makes me sad. It also makes me hopeful. Either we're all special and will all be a part of something important. Or we're all in need of therapy. I think we see 23 because we have "programmed" ourselves to see it. I recently bought a 1999 VW New Beetle. All of a sudden I start noticing New Beetles all over the place. I live in a fairly small town (pop. 20,000) in Texas. This seemed odd, but there it was. Just try a little experiment: just pick something at random (a car, a number, a word... Whatever you want) and then start noting everything you come across that's the same. Notice just how many white cars there are or how many times you see 254 or how often you encounter people whose names start with a K. You'll begin to see them all the time. Maybe you'll see some girl named Kelly in a white car with 254 in the license plate. Anyway, this is just what I think.

BTW, I have lost my job, my home, and my wife because of this obsession. Get help before 23 destroys you, too. Ok. The drug addiction didn't help, but it was my obsession with that number that I like to blame. So, any single gals looking for a fat, chain smoking, recovering junkie? Call me. ;-)
